ArcGIS includes a Living Atlas of the World with beautiful and authoritative maps on thousands of topics. Explore maps and data from Esri and thousands of other organizations and combine them with your own data to create new maps and apps.

Imagery

ArcGIS includes detailed imagery of the world, which reveals both the present state of the planet and change over time. These image layers enable you to view recent, high-resolution imagery for most of the world; lower-resolution imagery of the planet updated daily; and near real-time imagery for parts of the world affected by major events, such as natural disasters. This includes intelligent layers that enable you to restyle the imagery to highlight specific characteristics, such as healthy vegetation.

Basemaps

ArcGIS Online basemaps are designed to emphasize different views of our world, from physical to political. Through Esri's Community Maps Program, thousands of global ArcGIS users are improving the coverage and quality of these basemaps by contributing their map data and imagery. Start with the basemap that's most appropriate for your project and then add your data.
